Frederick Area Bridal Network Awards Membership 11/2007
(submitted to the Frederick News Post)

The Executive Board of the Frederick Area Bridal Network (FABNet) awarded a full membership to Kim Schruefer of Edible Arrangements recently. Ms. Schruefer showed an interest in the organization earlier in the year but the terrible fire which closed her business at the Opposumtown Pike location interrupted her plans to join. Now that Edible Arrangements has relocated and re-opened on Yellow Springs Road, the Board decided to offer a membership for overcoming their ordeal. FABNet is a non-profit organization founded to educate brides and professionals about the wedding industry holding monthly networking meetings every fourth Wednesday of the month; locations vary, check their website at www.fabnet.info.

 

The entire FABNet Board was present to award Ms. Schruefer with her membership. From left to right, Margaret Kostolansky (Holly Hills Country Club), Co-Secretary, Lise O’Connell (Balloon Affairs of Frederick), Treasurer, Ms. Schruefer, President, Kitty Gialanella (A Personal Touch Photography), VP-Admin, Terry Warfield (TLC Boutique), VP-Membership, Matt Aspey (To the 9’s Event Planning), and Co-Secretary, Wendy Farenwald (Balloon Affairs of Frederick). Ms. Schruefer graciously accepted the membership award. Edible Arrangements specializes in creating delicious fruit designs in a variety of styles and sizes for any occasion. All ingredients are natural, no preservatives or sweeteners are used. They are located in Frederick at 2060 Yellow Springs Road, Suite 103 open Mon-Fri 8am to 6pm and Sat 8am to 3pm.
